MAINTENANCE
LUBRICATION OF STABILIZING ARM GUIDES
- RIGID SUSPENSION
Apply spray lubricant to the stabilizing arm guide
and threaded shaft, on Track Systems with an
anti-rotation mechanism designed for vehicles
with a rigid rear suspension.
LUBRICATION OF STABILIZING ARM ROD
ENDS
Clean and apply spray lubricant to rod end on
Stabilizing arms.
WEAR
Rubber dampers (Stabilizing arms)
Check wear and damage on rubber dampers
mounted on the stabilizing arms. Replace them if
they show cracks or are excessively worn or
deformed. See Figure 35.
CAUTION: Improperly adjusted Track systems can
deform and damage the rubber dampers as well as
impair proper operation.
Figure 35
Anti-rotation
Verify wear on Stabilizing arm ball joint to make
sure that it is not seized or too loose. Figure 36.
CAUTION: A damaged ball joint can impede Track
System adjustments and result in damages to the
Track System and to the vehicle if not replaced.
Figure 36
NOTE: For maximum durability of rod end,
disassemble rod end assembly and rotate
ball in its seat to distribute lubricant.
